Fudō Falls, Mountain waterfall in Hachimantai, Japan
The three-tiered Fudō Falls descends 15 meters through dense forest, creating multiple cascades that flow over dark volcanic rocks into clear pools below.
The waterfall area served as a training ground for mountain ascetics during the Edo period, leading to its inclusion in Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls list.
A red bridge stands before the falls, connecting modern visitors to centuries of spiritual practices associated with the purifying properties of falling water.
Located five minutes by foot from the main parking area, the waterfall offers wheelchair-accessible paths and resting areas throughout the surrounding park.
The water source originates from natural springs that maintain consistent flow patterns regardless of seasonal changes, justifying its name which means immovable.
